Zeno's Paradox
November 23, 2003 - Enterprise is stealing the cliched episodes.

I don't know what to think about Enterprise. On one hand, they do terribly cliched episodes -- last week was one in a planet like the Old West (see TNG time travel / holodeck episodes), this week dealt with a clone (see Voyager's "Drone" episode, which was also pretty good), and next week's episode has the crew going to 2004 to stop bioterrorism (see Voyager's trip back to 1996 to stop a time bandit). The problem is this -- the ideas for episodes are pretty dumb. But they manage to pull off the episode in such a way that you feel bad for thinking that it would be yet another cliche. At the rate they are going, they will do an episode on jumping a Xindi shark and I'll really like that episode also. Please, leave me some plots that are terrible so I have something to laugh about!



In other news, I finished Evangelion and saw both endings. The original blew (apparently the producer couldn't budget and didn't have funds to do the last two episodes of the series), and the new ending (End of Evangelion) was only slightly better. It was a textbook example of having a good idea for a story, but being completely unable to wrap it up. Such a disappointment...
